Book three of the Ladies of Back Bay Serieswill tell Marcus and Gigi’s story.
All Our Broken Pieces
Marcus
Taking over the family business isn’t my dream, but I do what’s expected of me.
My relationship with my father might have seemed fine from the outside, but within my childhood home, I knew a different story.
As he primes me to take over what he built, the demands almost break me.
Then he gives me one last requirement-get married.
I’m the quiet guy, the one who seldom dates or hooks up.
There’s a darker side of me that very few people know about and might not understand.
When the woman who has been just a friend volunteers to help me, I know I’m treading a fine line.
What she doesn’t know is that it’s hard for me to keep this act up, because I fell for her a long time ago.
And when she shines her light in my dark places, I realize that I want something very real.
Gigi
I just want loyalty and to build a life and a home with someone.
Every relationship has ended in an epic fail. I feel like the Universe always keeps love just out of my reach.
Then the guy who has become one of my closest friends needs help.
Needs a wife.
I offer to help him, but only on my terms.
Playing pretend is better than being alone, right?
But when I cross the line, when I tempt him more than I should,
I find there’s a side to him I never imagined.
And a side to me that I can’t hold back.
